You're absolutely right -- I'm down to 3 mills, although the buyer hasn't picked up mill #4 yet. When I get down to 2 mills, I'll have enough space to breathe!
Miller's No. 37 running gear is somewhere around $350. I can buy a lot of stainless steel from the scrapyard for that price! For me, the point is to get practice by making something useful. I know it probably won't turn out looking professional, and I might decide it isn't the configuration I want after I use it for a few months. But that's why I bought a welder, so I could make things custom. I don't mind redoing it later someday =) |
